7/25/12 Update

Ok, I know, I know - what has been happening since June 24th...  well lots.

Septic system was installed.  This is the tank...

Here they are installing the leech field....Exciting, I know!!

They finished all the sheetrocking and sanding on June 26th, so I spent a good deal of time cleaning, dusting, vacuuming, so that we could start painting.

The painting started on July 4th (great way to spend a Holiday).  Bob & I got into our tyvek suits and started using the sprayer to primer the walls and ceilings.  This continued through the week-end....July 7th, when we had Peter G., Allie G and Al R. join us.  We spent that Saturday painting the ceilings - while Bob finished spraying the primer. 

I then spent every night during the week - 2 hours at a shot - putting the 2nd coat on the ceilings.  Here is a picture of the Kitchen - walls primered and ceilings painted white.

On Friday, July 13th - Allie came down with Holden and we tackled our first room with "Color".  You can see in this picture below the Kitchen (right) and the Dining room (left).  This is a neutral color that we went with throughout the Living room, Dining and Kitchen.  Bob & I then tackled the rest of this color on Saturday the 21st. 

Al helped us with the "COLORS" on Sunday 22nd.  Say Hi Al!!

And NOW...Introducing "BOB & DEE'S COLORS".  COBALT BLUE - Dining Room (2 coats)

CAYENNE PEPPER RED - Foyer (3 coats - with one more to go)

EARTHY YELLOW - Great Room (3 coats -with a little more touch up to do)

And then.....Monday - The Hardwood Floors started to go in...it really is starting to look like a home.  Here is the Great Room.

Another view from today - you can see how it plays well with the colors - yellow and red.  And yes, those are my shoes - I took them off and walked around bare foot for the first time in my home...and no slivers. 

Here is our Guest Bedroom.  This room doesn't have paint colors yet - - WAY TOO MUCH painting to do and we are still picking out colors.  You can get a glimpse of how we sealed the windows with blue tape and sheets of plastic.  This allowed Bob to spray the primer without having to worry about the windows. 

Well - Hope you enjoyed today's update.  Stay tuned for more...We have been finalizing our cabinet stain colors.  I didn't show you the door design (which are done except for stain), cause I need to keep some things back for the "reveal".  But they look great  and reflect our Southwest and Rustic style. 

Later - Dee.
